International Hot & Spicy Day

When I found out today was International Hot & Spicy Day I just had to post all of my favorite healthy, spicy recipes. After all one of my favorite kind of food is hot and spicy!! Actually I think it’s my favorite! My Husband always asks, what is your stomach made of? Tin? Nope, my belly loves some heat! Funny, I eat spinach I get a stomach ache. If I eat a hotter than h-e double hockey sticks meal, I have no issues and I am happy!! So let me show you my favorite Hot & Spicy Recipes!!

First Up is My Baked Buffalo Chicken Fingers! These fingers are crispy and pack the right amount of heat! I think I need to make these soon! Perfect for the Super Bowl.
Here is my Buffalo Chicken Wing Dip! This is healthy, low calorie and perfect for dipping pita chips or tortilla chips, also celery and carrots. I love this dip!Buffalo Chicken Wing Wontons, oh man! Love these little wontons! Super low in calories and very easy to make. This recipe is pretty popular with my friends. My good friend Andrea made them for the Super Bowl last year and she said they were a hit.Grilled Cheesy Jalapeno Peppers! I know this time of year, it’s really not grilling season, but if you can pull the grill out, you must make these! So good!

It’s low calorie, delicious and it just darn good.

It packs the right amount the heat and let me tell you, shrimp and peppers go so well together!
